After a monster week, in which he more then doubled his nearest competitor (me), "Wheelin' and Dealin'" Russ Payton has made his way into a playoff spot, and he even jumps over accboy to end up in the 5th spot. With that, Gold has fallen just outside of the playoffs. Tigerfan maintains a comfortable lead, with Zapp and RD battling it out for the second spot. My, how the season has turned. Way to go, Russ. Keep it up.

wow lol...

How the heck did he beat you guys by that much

The man trades like it's no one's business. He finds the good wrestlers with the most matches coming up and finds a way to get them. The research is pretty impressive, really.

Wrestling is probably one of the few sports where such a strategy could be so effective due to the irregularity of the schedules. For example, it couldn't work in football because every player has exactly 1 game per week (excluding byes).
